   Feb 11, 2014 · Atheists often ask Christians to define what God is and not by attributes but by describing his essence. When the Christian fails, the atheist complains that even the Christian can’t define who God is. Therefore, they often say that talking about God is more or less meaningless. However, I believe this is nothing more than an attempt to ...

   christianity.stackexchange.com › questions › 25426

   To R. C. Sproul and many other Christians, the word essence is a near-synonym of being or substance in a philosophical sense. It is the English word that he feels best conveys the meaning of the word that the Greeks used when describing unchangeable, ultimate reality: ousios (the present participle of the Greek verb "to be").

   Apr 24, 2013 · The internal lines identify the nature, substance, or essence of each person: The Father is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God. Basil of Caesarea, writing in the 370s (Letter 236.6), gives a good explanation for why we say “God the Father,” “God the Son,” and “God the Spirit”:

   The full title of God is “God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit”. (Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14). Each Person is made up of the same divine characteristics, making each equal to either of the other two (John 10:30; 16:15) Therefore, when the Bible speaks of God as being One, it is a reference to Essence; when speaking of the members of the Godhead, it is a reference to the Persons.

   Mar 30, 2018 · God has an essence as well—the divine essence. But the divine essence is unique, for God is the only divine being (and thus, God actually is His essence). Further, while we may distinguish His divine attributes, we may not separate them. In the essence of God, His mind is His will is His power and so on.

   Is God one in essence and three in person?

   • Stated differently, God is one in essence and three in person. These definitions express three crucial truths: (1) the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct Persons, (2) each Person is fully God, (3) there is only one God. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct Persons.

   • Thus, [subsistence] gets at the idea that while God is one in essence, there are three subsistences, three persons, that stand under the essence. They are part of the essence. All three have the essence of deity. [...] There are distinctions between [the members of the Godhead], but the distinctions are not essential, not of the essence.

   Jan 23, 2006 · This leads us to investigate more closely a very helpful definition of the Trinity which I mentioned earlier: God is one in essence, but three in Person.
